Great sound, great backing band.

and she ain't a new kid in the biz.

I saw Ms Boykin at the Vancouver Jazz Fest a few years ago. First at a free concert then in a club. She was with the Johnny Nocture Band at the time. Not only can she shout stuff from the Savoy recordings of Little Esther aka Esther Phillips but she had the audiences in her hand at both shows. Since I burned this cd it is on my player at home and my MP 3 players, can't get enough of Ms Boykin.
